That looks like a wheel break from some nigger having the wrong wheels with the wrong offset and probably chink metal.
Aside from that OP sounds like the kind of biker who has yet to crash their bike. OP may also be full of the wisdom that only inexperience and youth can bestow. Otherwise his biggest fear would be some inattentive fuck squashing him because they are finger fucking a flat screen and OP spends the rest of his life shitting in a bag where the closet thing you'll ever ride again is a Hawking style wheelchair.
Keep the shiny side up bro and stay safe.
I've been riding for 40 years. Sure there's a million things to worry about. Twice I've had shit fly off vehicles and just miss me. You have no time to react, so yeah it's a nightmare. Many times people cutting me off, many inattentive jerkoffs on phones racing up behind me. I always watch my mirror and aim myself an out to avoid being pancaked at stop lights. I'm not sure why you're on my case but whatever. You keep the rubber down too fella.
No biggest fear is coming around a bend near flagstaff on the i40 doing 80 and seeing a full size industrial building girder taking up all lanes ...
Taco'ed both rims, totaled the bike, but missed the other cars and somehow survived and kept it upright.
They probably switched rims and didn't know there are different type lugnuts and you need to use the right style for the right rim. I doubt the offset killed it on that pavement princess.
